Sale of Receivables (a) The Seller sells and assigns, without recourse (except as provided in this Agreement), to the Buyer the following property on and as of the dates specified below:
(i) on the first Closing Date, (A) all of its right, title and interest in, to and under each Sold Receivable originated in each Initial Account and all Related Security with respect to such Sold Receivables owned by the Seller at the close of business on the Cutoff Date and (B) all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect to any of the foregoing and all proceeds (including “proceeds,” as defined in the UCC) and Recoveries thereof;
(ii) on the applicable Addition Date, (A) all of its right, title and interest in, to and under each Sold Receivable originated in each Additional Account and all Related Security with respect to such Sold Receivables owned by the Seller at the close of business on the applicable Additional Cutoff Date, and (B) all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect to any of the foregoing and all proceeds (including “proceeds,” as defined in the UCC) and Recoveries thereof; and
(iii) on each Sale Date, (A) all of its right, title and interest in, to and under each Sold Receivable originated in each Account on such Sale Date and all Related Security with respect to such Sold Receivable owned by the Seller at the close of business on the applicable Sale Date and not previously sold to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and (B) all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect to any of the foregoing and all proceeds (including “proceeds,” as defined in the UCC) and Recoveries thereof.
(b) The foregoing sales, and any subsequent sales, do not constitute, and are not intended to result in, the creation, or an assumption by the Buyer, of any obligation of the Servicer, the Seller, Ford or any other Person in connection with the Accounts or the related Receivables or under any related agreement or instrument, including any obligation to any Dealers or Ford. The foregoing sales are not sales of the Accounts but rather are sales of the Sold Receivables originated in the Accounts.
(c) In connection with the foregoing sales, the Seller will record and file, at its own expense, a financing statement on form UCC-1 or any other applicable form (and continuation statements when applicable) with respect to the Sold Receivables sold by the Seller, for the sale, for UCC purposes, of “tangible chattel paper,” “payment intangibles,” “general intangibles” or “accounts” (each as defined in the UCC), meeting the requirements of Applicable Law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect the sale and assignment, for UCC purposes, of the Sold Receivables and the Related Security to the Buyer, and to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or other evidence of such filing to the Buyer on or before the first Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, and (if any additional filing is necessary) the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts. The Buyer is under no obligation whatsoever to file such financing statement, or a continuation statement to such financing statement, or to make any other filing under Applicable Law in connection with such sales.
(d) The Seller and the Buyer intend that all transfers of Sold Receivables under this Agreement constitute sales of such Sold Receivables and not transfers of such Sold Receivables as security for a loan. However, if the transfers of the Sold Receivables under this Agreement were to be characterized as transfers of security for a loan and not as sales, then (i) the Seller will have Granted, and Grants, to the Buyer a security interest in each Sold Receivable and the Related Security, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect to any of the foregoing and all proceeds (including “proceeds,” as defined in the UCC) and Recoveries thereof and (ii) this Agreement constitutes a security agreement.
(e) On or before the first Closing Date, in the case of the Initial Accounts, and on or before the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Additional Accounts, the Seller will, at its own expense:
(i) indicate in its computer files that the Sold Receivables and the Related Security have been (A) sold and assigned to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, (B) sold and assigned by the Buyer to the Issuer pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement and (C) pledged by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Indenture and the Indenture Supplements;
(ii) in the case of the Initial Accounts, deliver to the Buyer the Initial Account Schedule; and
(iii) in the case of Additional Accounts, deliver to the Buyer an Additional Account Schedule.
(f) The Account Schedule, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, will be marked as Schedule 1 to this Agreement and is incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.
(g) The purchase price for the Sold Receivables sold pursuant to this Agreement will be equal to the principal amount of the Sold Receivables, or such other price as may be agreed to by the Buyer and the Seller at the time of acquisition by the Buyer. The purchase price will not be materially less favorable than prices for transactions of a generally similar character at the time of the acquisition, taking into account the quality of such Sold Receivables the Seller’s cost of originating such Sold Receivables and a reasonable return on such costs, and other pertinent factors; provided that such consideration will in no event be less than reasonably equivalent value therefor. The Depositor and the Buyer each represents and warrants to the other that the amount of cash paid by the Depositor on any Sale Date, together with the increase in the value in the Buyer’s capital in the Depositor, is equal to the fair market value of the Sold Receivables sold on such Sale Date.
(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents to the contrary, in originating the Receivables, the Seller acts solely in its individual capacity and not in the capacity of agent or nominee of the Issuer. Furthermore, in connection with all sales of Sold Receivables by the Seller to the Buyer under this Agreement, the Seller is under no obligation, and does not intend, to inform the related Dealers of such sales by the Seller to the Buyer or of the transfer thereof by the Buyer to the Issuer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement or of the pledge thereof by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.
Payments on Receivables, Collection Accounts The Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) will, and will cause each Originator to, at all times, instruct all Obligors to deliver payments on the Pool Receivables to a Collection Account or a Lock-Box. The Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) will, and will cause each Originator to, at all times, maintain such books and records necessary to identify Collections received from time to time on Pool Receivables and to segregate such Collections from other property of the Servicer and the Originators. If any payments on the Pool Receivables or other Collections are received by the Borrower, the Servicer or an Originator, it shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties and promptly remit such funds into a Collection Account; provided, however, that (x) no less than 98.0% of such payments received shall be remitted to a Collection Account within one (1) Business Day after becoming aware of such receipt and (y) no more than 2.0% of such payments received shall be remitted to a Collection Account within five (5) Business Days after becoming aware of such receipt. The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no funds other than Collections on Pool Receivables and other Collateral are deposited into any Collection Account. If such funds are nevertheless deposited into any Collection Account, the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) will within two (2) Business Days identify and transfer such funds to the appropriate Person entitled to such funds. The Borrower will not, and will not permit the Servicer, any Originator or any other Person to commingle Collections or other funds to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party is entitled, with any other funds. The Borrower shall only add a Collection Account (or a related Lock-Box) or a Collection Account Bank to those listed on Schedule II to this Agreement, if the Administrative Agent has received notice of such addition and an executed and acknowledged copy of an Account Control Agreement (or an amendment thereto) from the applicable Collection Account Bank. The Borrower shall only terminate a Collection Account Bank or close a Collection Account (or a related Lock-Box) with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
Collection of Receivables Except as otherwise provided in this Security Agreement, such Grantor will collect and enforce, at such Grantor’s sole expense, all amounts due or hereafter due to such Grantor under the Receivables owned by it.
Eligible Receivables Each Receivable included as an Eligible Receivable in the calculation of the Net Receivables Pool Balance as of any date is an Eligible Receivable as of such date.
Receivables (a) No amount payable to such Grantor under or in connection with any Receivable is evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper which has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent.
(b) None of the obligors on any Receivables is a Governmental Authority.
(c) The amounts represented by such Grantor to the Lenders from time to time as owing to such Grantor in respect of the Receivables will at such times be accurate.
Sale of Collateral In addition to any other remedy provided herein, the Lender may immediately, without advertisement, sell at public or private sale or otherwise realize upon, in Baltimore, Maryland, or elsewhere, the whole or, from time to time, any part of the Collateral, or any interest which the Borrower may have therein. After deducting from the proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Collateral all expenses, including all expenses for legal services, the Lender shall apply such proceeds toward the satisfaction of the Obligations. Any remainder of the proceeds after satisfaction in full of the Obligations shall be distributed as required by applicable Law. Notice of any sale or other disposition shall be given to the Borrower at least ten (10) days before the time of any intended public sale or of the time after which any intended private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made, which the Borrower hereby agrees shall be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. The Borrower agrees to assemble, or to cause to be assembled, at the Borrower's own expense, the Collateral at such place or places as the Lender shall designate. At any such sale or other disposition, the Lender may, to the extent permissible under applicable law, purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral, free from any right of redemption on the part of the Borrower, which right is hereby waived and released. Without limiting the generality of any of the rights and remedies conferred upon the Lender under this Section, the Lender may, to the full extent permitted by applicable law: (a) enter upon the premises of the Borrower, exclude therefrom the Borrower or any entity connected therewith, and take immediate possession of the Collateral, either personally or by means of a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction, using all necessary force to do so; (b) at the Lender's option, use, operate, manage, and control the Collateral in any lawful manner; (c) collect and receive all rents, income, revenue, earnings, issues, and profits therefrom; and (d) maintain, repair, renovate, alter or remove the Collateral as the Lender may determine in the Lender's discretion.
Accounts Receivable; Inventory (a) For each Account with respect to which Advances are requested, on the date each Advance is requested and made, such Account shall be an Eligible Account.
(b) All statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing the Eligible Accounts are and shall be true and correct and all such invoices, instruments and other documents, and all of Borrower’s Books are genuine and in all respects what they purport to be. Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may notify any Account Debtor owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Eligible Account. All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Eligible Account shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. Borrower has no knowledge of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any Account Debtor whose accounts are Eligible Accounts in any Transaction Report. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Eligible Accounts are genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are legally enforceable in accordance with their terms.
(c) For any item of Inventory consisting of Eligible Inventory in any Transaction Report, such Inventory (i) consists of finished goods, in good, new, and salable condition, which is not perishable, returned, consigned, obsolete, not sellable, damaged, or defective, and is not comprised of demonstrative or custom inventory, works in progress, packaging or shipping materials, or supplies; (ii) meets all applicable governmental standards; (iii) has been manufactured in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act; (iv) is not subject to any Liens, except the first priority Liens granted or in favor of Bank under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; and (v) is located at the locations identified by Borrower in the Perfection Certificate where it maintains Inventory (or any location permitted under Section 7.2).
Nature of Receivables Each of the Receivables shall be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the Customer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms of a Borrower, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered by a Borrower as of the date each Receivable is created. Same shall be due and owing in accordance with the applicable Borrower’s standard terms of sale without dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts receivable schedules delivered by Borrowers to Agent.

Concurrently therewith and in exchange therefor, the Issuer shall deliver to, or to the order of, the Seller the Notes and the Certificate.

(i) all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Receivables and all monies due thereon or paid thereunder or in respect thereof (including proceeds of the repurchase of Receivables by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.02 or the purchase of Receivables by the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.08 or 9.01) after the Cutoff Date;

(c) It is the intention of the Seller that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement shall constitute a sale of the Collateral from the Seller to the Issuer and the beneficial interest in and title to the Collateral shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. The Seller agrees to execute and file all filings (including filings under the UCC) necessary in any jurisdiction to provide third parties with notice of the sale of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement and to perfect such sale under the UCC.
(d) Although the parties hereto intend that the transfer and assignment contemplated by this Agreement be a sale, in the event such transfer and assignment is deemed to be other than a sale, the parties intend that all filings described in the foregoing paragraph shall give the Issuer a first priority perfected security interest in, to and under the Receivables, and other Collateral conveyed hereunder and all proceeds of any of the foregoing. This Agreement shall be deemed to be the grant of a security interest from the Seller to the Issuer, and the Issuer shall have all the rights, powers and privileges of a secured party under the UCC.
(e) In connection with the foregoing conveyance, the Servicer shall maintain its computer system so that, from and after the time of sale of the Receivables to the Issuer under this Agreement, the Servicer’s electronic files which are maintained for the purpose of identifying retail installment sales contracts which have been transferred in connection with securitizations will show the interest of the Issuer in such Receivable and that the Receivable is owned and controlled by the Issuer. Indication of the Issuer’s ownership of a Receivable shall be deleted from or modified on the Servicer’s computer systems when, and only when, the Receivable has been paid in full, repurchased or assigned pursuant to this Agreement.
(f) Ownership and control of the Receivables, as between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of the Noteholders) shall be governed by the Indenture.
Sale or Discount of Receivables Except for receivables obtained by the Borrower or any Subsidiary out of the ordinary course of business or the settlement of joint interest billing accounts in the ordinary course of business or discounts granted to settle collection of accounts receivable or the sale of defaulted accounts arising in the ordinary course of business in connection with the compromise or collection thereof and not in connection with any financing transaction, the Borrower will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, discount or sell (with or without recourse) any of its notes receivable or accounts receivable.
